Car, Bike, Photography

Tuesday, heading out for morning coffee, dash of the car light up with braking/ABS system lights and messages. It did not seem to be a big problem for driving. I drove to town for coffee. On the way home, I stopped by Lyle's where I get my car work done. Made arrangements for repairs on Wednesday morning.

Loaded the hybrid bike on the rack on the car. I decided to ride bike and take photos around town while the car was in the shop. Had then change the oil and filter while in the shop - it was due.

First area of town for photography was the historic 100 block of West Broadway (photo above). This is just a block from the shop where my car was working on. Photos like this lend themselves to Black & White. Had my good D-SLR and Point&Shoot cameras with me.All my photos were taken with the Canon 60D.

From there, I rode over to Bayliss Park. It was a beautiful day for a bike ride and photography. The fountain was running with a full head of steam. Lots of kids getting wet playing along the fountain After taking my photos, it was time for the bike shop to open. Stopped by the crew at Xtreme Whels Bike & Sport - just a block from Bayliss Park.

I was happy to find that the brake/traction system problem was just a broken wire. I was back home with car repairs done, new photos, and a visit with the bike shop all before noon.
